Warning - I'm not lovin' my card today.......but I'm posting it anyway! The Less Is More Challenge this week is to make a one layer card with stripes. I knew I'd use my Impress background stamp for my stripes, but then I was left with the "what else to do?" question.

I ended up punching a circle from a post-it note to make a mask for my main image. With the post-it in place, I stamped the background using Distress inks.

Next I grabbed two Papertrey Ink circle stamps to give some interest to the open area. And then again.....another pause.......what do do next? Well.......I grabbed a Hero Arts Owl with a PTI sentiment and decided this would do for a masculine birthday card. I kept wanting to pop things up but had to remember the one-layer challenge - although, I might get axed from the challenge because is my card really "Less is More?"

Oh well........

The good news is - I really like the next four days of cards I have set to post!!! Have a great Monday!

Well, I think this is just adorable, Maria......and I have to tell you that I think you rocked the one-layer card design. That is probably the hardest challenge out there to me. I'm afraid to even try it. :)
